Welcome to Profectus

Automating the Financial Markets.

Congratulations on taking your first steps towards trading automation with Profectus AI.

The name of our organization is coming from the Latin language; Prōfectus (genitive prōfectūs) (masc.)

Which translates to; Advance, Progress, Effect, Increase, Growth, Profit, and Success.

Our organization is divided into two segments, Profectus (The Educational Side) & PAI (SaaS)

Welcome to the Profectus Family!

Nico, Max, and Joost here, the creators of Profectus.

Back in 2019, I met Nico Schirrmacher, which had a strong desire for trading and markets, and ever since he has been obsessed with learning how markets work and quickly took the direction toward trading automation. Over the years we've worked on creating, tweaking, and figuring out the best ways to automate our manual trading ideas and decided to share this knowledge with the world. Our unique framework allows you to test and implement your ideas into the markets through full automation, providing you time to create wealth and freedom while developing and working on other projects.

Let's start with a bit of background of myself, I am Max Nieveld and you might know me from New Capital which is the place where I have taught many about trading a mechanical approach through supply and demand analysis. For years I've been trading these non-subjective trading strategies for myself and many investors in our Fund. While teaching my signature approach, I always knew that 90% or maybe even 100% of this approach could be automated, yet I had no idea where to start. Honestly, I have never been a coder or someone who even likes to type thousands of lines of code. Nevertheless, I am here right now to show you that you can learn and be very successful with this, without the boring coding part!

Joost has been my business partner for about 7+ years now. Joost's background is similar to mine, we have the same university degree and we co-own several businesses. His first experience with algorithmic trading was during his internship. He was working on an options trading desk and operated a market-making algorithm. Early on he was able to experience what it is like to trade in a professional environment. At Profectus, Joost is mainly involved in strategy analysis and portfolio management.

Nico started to actively learn about the markets in 2019, he decided to quickly move towards the quant approach instead of just trading manually. While working at PwC and studying on the side, progress in learning to automate was slow but steady. Then the world stopped. We all know what happened in 2020 and 2021. The world changed a lot and more movements toward the online industry were imminent, with people working from home and new opportunities arising in all industries. Nico took advantage of this environment and decided to go all-in on trading, and of course, this paid out. 

To prove to you what is possible in this industry, Nico and I have worked closely together over the recent years to build multiple systems, including the PAI system. This system was invented after I analyzed a ton of different breakout approaches from other markets and turned it into a system suitable for the FX market, where all my experience lies within. Creating this system, our general idea was pretty simple to be totally honest, however, building the full system in an efficient manner was a different story. Later in our course, you will learn about the difference between efficient building and building in general. For now, I just want to say that Nico helped our team with building systems from a different point of view, in a very efficient manner. This resulted in many interesting and profitable ideas, one is shown here below just to give you some motivation and clarity.

Learn to create systems like PAI

After finishing this course, you'll be able to create systems like PAI yourself and start building your track record. More information about this system can be found here.

PAI Trading System with some size...

The system also runs live on one of our bigger accounts. We just want to show you what is possible with this skill.

Getting Started

Let's get started! We're here to teach you everything you need to start developing automated trading strategies. This course will take you from beginner to advanced and will provide you with a clear game plan to automate all your trading ideas.

Further in this course, we will teach you 4 different ways to quickly increase your monthly income. This is not just a course about building systems, it is an asset that can bring you steady cash flow for the future.

Seriously... if you study everything we teach here in detail, implement the knowledge and keep working on yourself, this skill will serve you for the rest of your life. For the next couple of weeks, months, or years, learning to automate trading strategies should be your priority!

Let's start by looking at the benefits of trading the markets and why automation can maximize this potential:


The table above shows you how automated trading has even more benefits than manual trading, the main one being the ability to replace yourself as a trader. As a result, scaling a business becomes easier if you can automate the full process without losing the quality of your output. By automating a trading strategy, you eliminate human error and maximize the potential of the strategy. You can passively enjoy the results of your strategy.

Trading automation can be compared to the music industry, let me explain:

James has been recording a new song for months now, and a lot of hard work has gone into his creation. After this intense period, he publishes the song to his audience and receives royalties for the upcoming 5 years. In total, the royalties of his song generate him a quarterly revenue of $36.000,- completely passive. His hard work is done and he is now reaping the rewards in a passive manner.

Now let's take an example of trading automation to see the resemblance:

Peter has been reading a lot about reliable patterns in the financial markets. He decides to invest two months of his life into learning to automate one particular pattern. After a few months, he has built a successful automated trading system. With this system, trades are executed on his trading account without any action from his side resulting in zero human error. This system generates him a 10% annual return on investment on a consistent basis, allowing him to move to the next project or collect more capital to manage in a passive way.

Looks similar right?

Now that you know a few benefits of automated trading, you might ask: "why are YOU creating this course and not someone else?"
To be honest, this is my answer; I am not a coder but I've created many websites, I am not a coder but I've created many successful trading systems, and I am not the general tech nerd working at Two Sigma. But, I've made a solid return from my creative ideas and I believe that you can do the same.

I believe that anyone can learn how to build automated trading strategies using our approach. You don't have to be a coder, mathematician, or finance expert. We teach you the unique skill of trading automation using a no-code approach.

I've been rather successful in the trading industry so far and one thing I learned is to generate ideas, automate these ideas and slowly implement them in a portfolio which is managing millions at the time of writing this. Being here, hungry to find more talent among our community of students is our mutual benefit.
